• Springbok

  The Springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) is a medium-sized antelope native to the dry inland areas of southern Africa, particularly South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana. It is the national animal of South Africa. Springboks are characterized by their light reddish-brown coat with a distinctive dark stripe along their flank and a white belly. They are famous for their 'pronking' behavior, a series of high, stiff-legged leaps, often performed when excited or to signal to predators. Springboks are grazers and browsers, well-adapted to arid environments, able to obtain water from their food.
